Q: I'm Tunisian woman married to a British passport holder and we're both Muslims married in Qatar and live now in UAE. I want to know what happens if I ask for divorce.
We grew apart and he's been nasty with me, threatening me to have a mistress or get married again or even threaten to hit me if I reply to him during an argument. We have a joint account with full ownership (anyone of us has full authority over the account) for both of us but I actually own 90% of the money in it.
Lately, after our relationship started suffering, I discovered he transferred all the money to an off-shore account and he didn't consult me or ask for my permission, until he didn't tell me about it. I don't trust him anymore and want to divorce and have my money.
Would filing for divorce affect me or my assets (I have another separate current account)? Would I be able to get my money back? How will Sharia law affect this process assuming he won't cooperate?
Please advise.

الطلاق المتنازع عليه للوافدين في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة
س: أنا مسلم مصري متزوج من مسيحية مقدونية طبقًا للشريعة الإسلامية في السفارة المصرية بدبي.
لقد كان زواجًا صعبًا للغاية، وأريد أن أطلق زوجتي الحامل، وهي لا تريد أن يمر ذلك بسلام. أنا كفيلها في دبي، حيث أنها لا تعمل حاليًا.
الاستمرار في هذا الزواج هو أمر مستحيل، ولا يوجد لدينا أي اتفاقيات قبل الزواج. أريد أن أعرف حقوقها وحقوقي، رجاءً.

الحصول على المهر والحقوق الأخرى عند الطلاق بموجب الشريعة الإسلامية
س: تزوجنا أنا وزوجي طبقًا للشريعة الإسلامية. عند الزواج، قدم زوجي سند ملكية يُفيد بأن الشقة غير مرهونة حتى يمنحها لي باعتبارها مهري.
ووعد بنقل الملكية في غضون خمسة أيام بعد الزواج. ولكن بعد مرور ثمانية أشهر، يدعي زوجي أن الشقة مرهونة بالفعل (لم يتم دفع ثمنها بالكامل حتى الآن) ويرفض نقل ملكيتها لي قائلاً أنني لا أستحقها ويتهمني بأنني زوجة سيئة.
حتى أنه توقف عن إعالتي ماديًا وأساء إلي جسديًا وعاطفيًا. لقد تقدمت بشكوى للشرطة بعد أن ضربني.
كيف يمكنني الحصول على مهري؟ الشقة مرهونة وأنا أعتقد أنها ليست كذلك. كيف أحصل على الطلاق دون أن أفقد حقوقي؟
هل سأحصل على نفقة لأن زوجي يرفض إعالتي ماديًا؟

عرض الجميعWhat is the responsibility of the employee in case of leaving before the end of the notice period?
What is the responsibility of the employee?
The employment contract is set to conclude on 31st May 2025. The employee initiated discussions regarding a salary increment approximately 30 days prior, during which the management engaged in meetings with the employee but ultimately decided to maintain the current salary.
The employee subsequently chose not to renew or continue the employment, this decision having been finalized in a meeting held on 20th May 2025.
How does the notice period apply in this context?
Specifically:
1) Would the grace period (30 days after the contract/visa ends) be considered as fulfilling the notice period requirement?
2) Is the employee entitled to request a different salary during this grace or notice period?

How to reduce agreed salary deductions if they are too high and affect our livelihood?
Hello,
I work for a company in the field of technical works related to interior decorations, and during my work, for technical reasons, some materials that belonged to the company and that we use in our work were damaged, and which should have been secured in a certain way.
My coworkers and I were punished by deducting the value of the materials from our salaries, as the company deducted 15 days per month until the full amount was paid.
The first deduction was made last month, which causes us a lot of harm, as it is difficult for us to face living with the remaining amount.
We know that there was a mistake on our part and we agreed to the deduction, but the amount deducted monthly is half of our salaries, which is a very difficult matter.
If we arbitrate the work and workers in the ministry, can the matter be settled on easy terms with the company, or will our request be rejected?
With many thanks in advance!

If the Public Prosecution appeals a not-guilty verdict with no new evidence, will it stay the same?
Hi Sir,
My husband had a judgment where he was found not guilty, as the misdemeanor court stated that it doubts the charges against the accused and found no conclusive evidence except the statements in the report files.
The court considered this invalid because there was no translator. After this, if the Public Prosecution appeals, will the verdict remain unchanged and be upheld if there is nothing more than this
Can you shed some light from your experience on this issue and say if the result will remain the same?
